Be careful about replacing a slate roof with tiles. Tiles are heavier so you could need additional work to strengthen the framework to hold it. (you can tell I'm not a builder, can't think of the word for the bits that the tiles are on!!!)

Man made tiles are eternite and lighter and tiles can sometimes be concrete which would cause the timbers to bow timber. Eternite are cheaper or should be.....

We had our midterraced house roof done 3 yrs ago by Martin Brooks roofers for about 4 grand including velux window. Overall very impressed with quality of work (which is probably why they are not the cheapest, but they were also a grand less than our other quote so not the most expensive either!). That price was reusing any good existing slates and using reclaimed slates for the rest. Real slate lasts many years so this is a good option if you want to save a bit of money whilst retaining character of the house. It's also guaranteed for either 10 or 15 years, can't remember which. Hope this helps.

Hi we are having a loft conversion, and we want to replace our roof at the front of the house. At the moment we have a tiled roof, but it is very old. Our house is a mid-terrace. For the extension we are having slate roof.

We have been told that our present roof will last for another 10 years. To change the roof, which is just half of the house, we have been quoted 2.8 grand. Is this a reasonable quote?

depending the size & type of slate wats actually going 2 be salvage able & re used. we do give a free est we would have 2 c wat work is involved 2 be honest .sounds a little steep when we do a full re roof 4 around £3.200 all inc if u req any further assistance contact joe on 07753827135

Hi all. We're looking at buying a house in Sheffield, but we're pretty sure it will need the slate roof redoing, though much of the slate looks like it could be reusable.

It's a small 2 bed mid-terrace, but with potential difficulty in that it is on a main road, and the pavement looks (to my inexpert eye!) so narrow that the scaffolding would potentially have to be on the road, and also whilst it is only 2 storey at the front of the house it is 4 storeys at the back...

Anybody able to give us a rough ballpark of how much we'd be looking at? Place needs mostly replastering too, so trying to put our costs together!!

hi we are on a re roof at the min its a quite large end terrace plus bathroom exstension and we charged 3,300 in eternit slates please contact us if anyone wishes for a free quote and advice thanks 01142202374/07966403263http://roofinginsheffield.net
